Hi Ester, I've followed your instrucitons and all seems well. Let me explain though, on my windows keyboard when i do a capital 2 it vies me a double quites sign and a capital apostrophe for the at sign, on the apple its the opposite way round and someone told me that the first way i described is the american keyboard way although the apple seems to be right and the right boxes are checked from what i've done. So ithe the Capital 2 as the at sign and capital apostrophe as the double quote just a standard apple way for apple computer on whichever way you have the keyboard set up.
